Levelling Upwards

Utopian as this quote is, it is good to have something to live up to....

'Eros is a great
leveller. Perhaps the true Democracy rests, more firmly than anywhere
else, on a sentiment which easily passes the bounds of class and caste,
and unites in the closest affection the most estranged ranks of society.
It is noticeable how often Uranians of good position and breeding are
drawn to rougher types, as of manual workers, and frequently very
permanent alliances grow up in this way, which although not publicly
acknowledged have a decided influence on social institutions, customs
and political tendencies.'
